The Republican* Outwitted. A Scheme That Was Succesful. Goebel Able to Sign Two Orders. Frankfort, .Ian 31. ? William (Goebel was shortly before O'clock tonight, sworn in as Gov-, etnor of Kentucky, and J C W Reckham, a few minutes later, took the oath of office for Lieut* enant Governor. The oath was administered to both men by Chief .Justice Hazelrigg, of the Court of Appeals. The plan to make Goebel Governor was set in' motion early in the afternoon. A j statement was prepared sayingj i that the boards which had heard, the contests for Governor and j Lieutenant Governor had decided in favor of Goebel and Beckham, and that the boaula intended to report their findings to the Login lattice, but that they had been prevented from ao doing by the action of Governor Taylor in declaring he legislature ad] aimed. The statement then goes on to sav that the members of the Legisla i ture were driven from place to place by the militia and threaten ed with arrest whenever they at tempted to hold a meeting. It was declared the belief of a!! the | signers of the statement that Goe; bel and Bet kham were the legally elected Governor and Lieutenant Governor, and euch man, as he signed the paper, announced that he voted for the adoption of the majority of the contest boards, which declared Goabel and Beck l - *U~ ( in ni no mo men ngnnuii V entitled to the office. The at ate ment is signed by a majority of the members of both houses. It was slow work obtaining the signatures of the members of the i Hons and Senate, and although j the work was in progress all the afternoon it was not until evening ' that the necessary nwmlier of sig1 natures had been obtained. As soon as the last man a tually needed had aflixed his signature to the statement, word wa? sent to the residence of Chief Justice Hazeltigg, of the Court of Appeals He came at once to ttie , t apitol Hotel, passed directly up to the room of Mr (roehel and adi ministered th? oath of office. Mr j(J iehel was propped up with pil | lows and was able to raise his hand only with the greatest difti. culty, as ho listened to the words of Judge Ila/.elrigg. When the oath had t>een given Mr Goebel sank hack exhausted, the effort having been almost too much for his strength. There were in the room at the time the o th wan ad I ministered, besides Mr Goebel (and Judge flazelrigg, Arthur ' Goehel, brother of the wounded man; Mrs Welch, his sistor, and Percy Haley, his campaign manager, and two or thrse intimate friends. Mr Goebel was unable to ea; anything regarding ths matter, but the contented smile on his face bore strong witnoss to the pleasure he felt. Immediately i : it i 1 ujni-i ino room wnore no bad a worn in Mr Goehel, Judge HAzelrigg went to an adjoining room, where he swore in Mr Beckham a? Lieutenant Governor. This done he returned to his home. Mr Goehel, as boob as he was Assured that he was legally Gov* ornor of Kentucky, took prompt I action regarding the military arm j of the service. Two orders were i quickly prepared for hi* signature ( the tirst of which discharged Adjti Gen Daniel Collier from office, I an<i appointed Gen John II ('as I tleman, of Louisville, as his hoc cesser. The second was directed 1 to the commanders of the militia i now stationed in this city, directing them to return to their homes, j Word was at once telegraphed to Gen CasHeman of his appoint ! ment, and he is expected in the city tomorrow morning. There' u a possibility of trouble in the1 matter of tho control of the state troopH. The regiment* of thel Guard have lately beer, reorganized and are f*?r tho most part made up of Republicans hih! the| personal followers of Gov Taylor. | It iH not certain that they will j at once obey the orders issued by ! Governor Goobel, and any attempt to force them to do so will almost certain I v result in trouble. Some j of the officers intimated tonight that thev would obey orders to ; leave, although thev were care fuI not to say so in specific terms I Indications around the State, House tonight were not such as to I wa?raa* any belief that the troops now there intended to ove away | in the morning. Supplies of clothing and food were being received and unloaded, and every shiny seemed to warrant the astumption that the troops were to stay for a time at least. General (Jollier refused positively to say anything regarding his possible line of action He would not say, however, that he had any inten* tion of giving up his post at the order of Governor Goebel. Seventy-six members of the Hou?e and Senate signed the state mvnt, which included some stioi ir criticism of the actions of Gov ernor Taylor in adjourning the Legislature and preventing it from meeting by the use of the militia. The House and Senate will make another ?tTort to meet tomorrow, but the Democratic I member# say they do not expect any trouble. If they are prevented from entering the hall, they will meet somewhere else. They say that no violence will bo offered to anbody, even though II the members uf the Legislature 11 are satisfied that the troops are i acting illegally. It wa* announced by members of the militia tonight that ninny 1 of the soldiers under arms here, about 300 would ojiey the orders of Governor Goebel. It i? not expected that they will attack their comrades, but thoy will refuse to obey tho orders of Got. Taylor, and take their chances of a court-martial. TAYLOU'S APPEAL. !
